MY 56
I skim the words. “Carson threatened Jean-Pierre? Greeeeat, and then what? Tatiana and Belinda got into a fight? And then…what?” The page details all kinds of vigilante action against the people who hurt me. Jean-Pierre got his car keyed and Tatiana had her locker vandalized.
GOODREADS BLURB
“A fast-paced blend of high-stakes drama and average teenage concerns (sex, appearance, friends), capped with a welcome message of hope.” ~Kirkus Reviews
If there’s one thing Madison Lukas understands, it’s pain. The pain she feels when her mother ignores her completely. The pain her best friend endures as her parents starve her as punishment. The pain of a dangerous boy whose mother has to be carried away by law enforcement on a regular basis.
She gets it. She feels the pain of others as if it were her own.
But when a mysterious man claiming to be her long lost brother appears with promises of relieving her suffering, trusting him could reveal more truths than Madison is ready for. Because the truth can hurt, too.
Wow. Between the teaser and the blurb I’m really curious.
Sounds intense. High stakes drama definitely promises some rapidly turning pages. Great cover, too.
Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
Sounds like an intriguing story. This week I am featuring Unholy City by Carrie Smith. Happy reading!
You definitely have me curious for more! Happy weekend!
I’m definitely intrigued! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Hi Sherry,
Definitely not my kind of story, although it highlights the fact, that in my opinion, the family and peer pressures placed on young people today, far outstrips anything we went through back when I was their age. Even without the rose tinted glasses on, life seemed so much simpler then!
Thanks for sharing and I hope that you enjoy both the books in this series 🙂

I wonder how that dynamic will play out with the long-lost brother. Sounds like an interesting story. I hope that you enjoy it. 🙂
I’m really loving the scenery on the cover, the story itself sounds less peaceful. Hope you enjoy your weekend!
I love that 56! I’m not sure this is for me because I don’t read too much YA but it sounds like it will be quite a ride!
I definitely like the looks of that cover! 🙂
What a fascinating tease! I’ll look this one up, Sherry! Thanks 🙂
